Landscape and Portrait

The first version of this photo is in focus and the bride and groom will get this version too, but on the left I have blurred the background and the amendment on the right is simply another cropping with the amendment.

I like to use this effect because it is now possible to believe that everyone's attention is on the couple during their first dance. Very often I prefer the monochrome version of this photo (and they'll get this too) but today I thought I would compare the landscape and portrait croppings of the same photo. The obvious difference is to do with the amount of background in the photo but, as with most variations, which you prefer is a matter of personal taste.

Happy snapping
